The standard Talklets Toolbar offers a range of speech and visual controls and provides a handy way of adding such enhancements to a web page with the addition of a small JavaScript snippet to each page to be speech enabled.
The Toolbar can be reskinned to match the site style and controlled by an on/off button so it is available to only those users who want it.
However, there are situations where website owners don't want to add a Toolbar to their site, maybe for aesthetic reasons, but maybe also because they already have some of the visual controls; for example, text resizing buttons are becoming increasingly common on accessibility-conscious websites.
Accordingly we have developed a highly flexible approach that allows some or all of the Toolbar functions to be added wherever required on the page using an interface design to suit both the site's layout and its look and feel.
So now it's possible to access speech via a link(s) or a button(s) of you own design placed anywhere on the page. 
Some users find the ideal place for a 'speak' or 'save MP3' button is next to the 'print page' icon,
positioning the audio enablement as a standard part of the page 'furniture' - and one that we at Textic believe will become increasingly the norm as the prevalence of integrated web text-to-speech increases.
Elements that can be deployed include the following:
- Switch Toolbar on/off
- Switch point-to-read on/off
- Play main content
- Save content as MP3
- Stop speech
plus
- Change page colourway
- Increase/decrease font size
- Change font type
